Tea, I drink with JAM and bread


Nop, I am not trying to sing the song do re mi....
but this is what I can do in my car every morning when driving to work...

I can take my time to toast the bread, smear butter and jam, standing by the boiling water, so I can make myself a cup of Lipton tea, while checking out the cars in the filter lane just slightly ahead of me joining our little JAM party.

Yes JAM... JAM and more JAM... a 20 mins journey turns out to be an hour drive... Its longer than driving from cck to changi airport.

2 days ago was one of the worse Jam.... The jam started even before I left the carpark... I dunno is this coincident or Truman show in real life; everyone seems to leave home for work simultaneously today. I know because I have to queue just to get out of the multi-story carpark.

As my house is just beside KJE, immediately I turn into another super long queue known to modern people as JAM... Usually there's lots of car, but not enough to constitute a jam.... oh well... Anyway it didn't take me long before I realise a van broke down in the middle of the expressway. Hey man, you know u r a van and u noe its a old van... so please keep to the left side and die there, dun jam it up at the middle of nowhere.

Immediately I started rerouting... knowing there's a less travelled road old choa chu kang road which can lead me to PIE. Happily, I got off the expressway and drove towards the single lane road, with a L-plate car that just knock down a motorcyclist waiting for me.... well done... ok lucky he's a L-plate... can't drive fast... so that guy suffered minor cuts and bruises...
However I think it will be a good time that the instructor taught his student to turn on the hazard lights so that everyone from behind know he is not going to move anymore!

Ok 1 broke down vehicle and 1 traffic accidents in a single trip.... not common but not unheard of... so when I was counting that no more traffic incident will happen... the filter lane that I am suppose to exit have another broke down vehicle.... don't anyone in Singapore take care of their cars?? Do they even heard of maintenance?? Ok, in a supposedly 20 mins drive to work turns out to be one of my longest trip... a record of 1 hr and 20 mins... due to 3 traffic incidents... well if its accident... I guess sometimes its really hard to avoid... but broke down vehicles......... oh man... the driving school should emphasize more on car maintenance as well..

绝处逢生  

Something I ripped off the net


绝处逢生  

 是意志力的源泉,是信心的保障。一些很难解决的问题,需要深层次的解决方法。绝处逢生,不断地想象自己什么都没有了,才能从根本上净化自己,从思想上彻底摒弃一切私欲和杂念,才能从根本上提高自己。 孤独产生激奋,激奋化作力量。

Another more recent mass game from North Korea

Another more recent mass game from North Korea









The best mass display in the world!!!

Ok, the best mass display in the world. This is my personal opinion of what is the best display in the world. Not something people voted for or some awards proclaiming them the best in the world.

My reasons for voting them world best
Well currently the world will be saying that the Beijing Olympic mass display is spectacular, thousand of performer able to synchronise their movement, their amazing lighting's effect and props, especially the scroll and the floating Olympic logo.

But wait till they see the performance by north Korea... they do not have so many amazing props or effect... however their performers especially the gymnastic performers can performed difficult to execute movement in sync!!! They can lift their leg in exact height, do somersault in exact timing and swing their props with precise angle! Its like watching computer graphic effect, with all the people clone... doing the same thing... I guess their only difference is their looks in the whole performance...

heres one of the video I found on youtube. I can't find a better version which I chance upon many years back, its in a video tape format which I think is long gone.




One has to ask oneself, how did they manage to do so well... I guess this is the power of brainwashing and fear instill into them... since by not doing well in the performance might mean something really nasty to them! Their livelihood might just depends on this one performance... So in order to survive, they will have to do it well... and I mean really well....

Its actually kind of sad for me admit that the best mass display in this world is performed by a country with some wacko leader... Where everyday they are being oppress and live in fear... whatever they can do and cannot do is determine by their "Great Leader" So I do wonder how true their passion are in this mass display... Lets just hope one day their life will change and they will performed not to survive, not to please their physco leader, but because they enjoyed it.
